There are three I-Team programs in the Cherry Creek School District. Each is an off-campus alternative program for students with special needs. Those needs may be learning, behavioral or emotional issues that make it difficult to be successful in their home high school. The I-Teams provide a small educational community for 11th and 12th graders, ages 16-21, with a low student: teacher ratio. All students work closely with a case manager, who oversees their IEP, graduation credits, discipline issues and academic progress.

Mission Statement

The I-Teams provide a safe school environment that values learning, responsibility, respect, mentoring, and life skills development so that all of our students will be prepared for a career or higher level education.

Social and Emotional Learning

Social and emotional learning is an important component of education at the I-Teams. All staff work to help students achieve personal growth by learning self-management techniques, inter and intrapersonal skills, and healthy approaches to conflict resolution. These social-emotional skills promote success at school, at home, in the workplace, and in life.
